Between our website, the press coverage we receive, questions procurement professionals ask us, and more, all of us here at the NLPA tend to go on and on about the benefits of the SPSM Certification. We’re just that passionate about how the SPSM helps procurement departments and procurement professionals!
Well, we decided that perhaps we needed to complement our elaborate ravings with something a bit simpler. So, here is a list of the benefits of the SPSM Certification in brief bullet points!
